Our goal at Finca Dinamica is not only to nourish ourselves, but to nourish the environment. We have germinated & transplanted over 500 seeds of fruit & timber trees. So far we have planted over 250 trees on our land that provide the local wildlife with food & shelter. Those trees are shading the ground & providing proper conditions for the rest of the land to grow healthy & strong. We focused mostly on native species, but included a few species from Asia that we knew were already growing in the region. Most of the trees we planted were from seed. While this method does take longer to produced visible results, it also provided us with valuable learning experiences. Nearly 200 of the trees we planted were gifted to local farmers & others who wanted to improve their land. We intend to return to this project soon. The next phase will be focused on native trees of our forest as well as detailed documentation of each life phase. Those trees will be endowed to land owners who wish to replenish what has been lost.
Below is a list of the species we planted along with links to information pages. In this phase of the project we focused on fruit trees as well as a few medicinal species. This list is not a comprehensive list of all trees on our land. We are still working on species identification & documentation for all trees that existed on our land at purchase & all those that have grown since. Soon we will provide our own information pages for the many species of plants on our land via our sister site www.fincadinamica.org. And please never forget - We need your help!
